ics:indexadd

Adds an entry to an existing search index.

Syntax

<ics:indexadd
   entryname="entry name"
   [index="index name"]
   [entrydetail="entry details"]
   [wordlist="words"]
   [wordlistdelimiters="delimiters"]
   [ics:filelist="files"]
   [date="date string"]
   [charset="character set"]
   [searchengine="name"]>
   <ics:fileargument name="file argument"
                 value="file argument value"/>
   <ics:dateargument name="date argument name" 
                 value="date argument value"/>
   <ics:textargument name="text argument" 
                 value="text argument value"/>
</ics:indexadd>

Parameters

entryname (required)

Name of the index entry to add. This value is returned in the search results. The entry value must be unique within an index. Choose entry values carefully so that the caller of the search can reference the associated article(s).

index (optional)

Name of the index to which the entry should be added. Default is specified in the Content Server properties file.

entrydetail (optional)

Detail text returned in search results.

wordlist (optional)

Words to add to the index. These are whitespace-separated by default but you can use the wordlistdelimiters parameter to specify something else. Use this parameter to add text that is not associated with a field of the index.

wordlistdelimiters (optional)

String containing delimiter characters to use to separate words in the value of the TEXTics:argument tag and the wordlist parameter. White space is used as delimiter characters if wordlistdelimiters is not specified.

ics:filelist (optional)

For AltaVista, specify a comma-separated list of files to add. For Verity, specify a single file (not a list of files). Use this parameter to add text that is not associated with a field of the index.

date (optional)

Date string to add to the index entry. If no date is specified, the ics:indexadd time is returned in the search results. Format is in Java SQL.

charset (optional)

Constant value representing the character set the index uses. For the AltaVista search engine this value may be 0, 1, or 2 (ISO_LATIN1, ASCII8, UTF8). If you do not specify charset, Content Server uses the values of av.charset from the Content Server the properties file.

For the Verity search engine, this value specifies the name of the subdirectory of the common directory where the locale is defined. If you do not specify charset, Content Server uses the value of verity.charset in the Content Server properties file.

searchengine (optional)

Name of the search engine to use. If searchengine is not specified, Content Server uses the value of cs.searchengine from the Content Server properties file.

Description

The ics:indexadd tag adds an entry to an existing search index.

For both AltaVista and Verity, arguments are optional using ics:fileargument, ics:dateargument and ics:textargument tags. These arguments specify the index field (the name parameter) to which the data (the value parameter) is to be added. When using the ics:fileargument value with AltaVista, specify a comma-separated list of files to add to the index with the given name. When using the ics:argument value with Verity, specify a single file (not a list of files). Use this parameter to add text that is not associated with a field of the index. The ics:dateargument is a date string specified in JAVASQL format. The ics:textargument value is a string delimited by white space. The white-space delimiter characters may be overridden by the wordlistdelimiters parameter.

The search engine collects arguments with the same name into a concatenated single value for that field.

errno

The possible values of errno include:

Value	Description
-300	File not found.
-801	Cannot load search engine.
-804	Add index failed.
-805	No default index specified.
-806	Unknown search engine.
-811	Could not call native method.
-812	Index does not exist.
-815	Duplicate field values. (Verity only)
-816	Could not create temporary populate file. (Verity only)
-817	Could not create temporary data file. (Verity only)

Example

The following example adds an entry to an existing AltaVista search index.

<ics:clearerrno/>
<ics:indexadd index="c:/avindex" entryname="A111111" date="1999-01-29" entrydetail="Example index entry" searchengine="AV">
  <ics:textargument name="headline" value="Clinton to seek third term"/>
  <ics:fileargument name="body" value="c:/articles/clinton12423.txt"/>
</ics:indexadd>

<ics:if condition=<%ics.GetErrno() != 0%>'>
<ics:then>
  Report error
</ics:then>
</ics:if>
